totally bummed out is there an easy fix to this... the nipple that's on the head on the intake side that connects to throttle body broke off on the head completely! is there any way to address this and replace?

 

Drill it and tap for a pipe fitting, and plug it, or put a pipe-to-barb fitting in it. I would just plug it. No reason to run hot water through the TB except for emissions control..

 

will it throw a code tho?

 

wont throw a code-- tap the hole and put in a new fitting if you want to, or just tap and plug as suggested.

 

Yelp discoed that a long time ago with no issues. Its a common thing that most people do. Aftermarket tb don't even have the water chamber so its just left open usually anyway.
